The Catalytic Process Engineering (CPE) group at PSI participates in a new project dedicated to the development of an entire process chain to produce sustainable liquid fuels based on hydrothermal liquefaction of a broad range of biomass feedstocks. The project…

The large scale production of commodity chemicals from lignin, the largest source of natural renewable aromatic chemicals, has been a goal of the biomass processing industry for decades. Catalytic materials can be used to reach this goal. Prof. Jeremy Luterbacher…

If photovoltaic or wind power plants produce more electricity than the network can absorb, valuable energy is lost. At the ESI Platform, PSI researchers are investigating how fuel cells can contribute to making this energy usable in a targeted way through storage. The power network cannot store…

Against the background of a growing share of intermittent renewables, such as wind and solar, the challenges of temporal and spatial grid balancing will increase in the future. Combined energy and storage technologies, such as Power-to-Product (P2X), represent promising solutions for this multi-dimensional balancing
